Hi r/acting! I’m an aspiring actor at the age of 17 living in a fairly small city in europe. I took a beginners theatre class from August last year to May this year and I had so much fun. I want to pursue acting and since new projects will be starting any time now I would appreciate some guidance on what I should do. T…

Hi folks, So I've been doing audiobooks and other voiceacting for over a year now and voicescloud just contacted me on LinkedIn. They say they're increasing their roster and want me to join. I'm trying to find an agent at the moment, and worry that voicescloud is maybe some kind of fiverr type thing devaluing voice act…

Hi all, fellow actor here looking to work on my improv and characters I've created. I think having them respond to questions about the world around them could be a good idea to turn into some kind of content similar to Ryan Grorge sketch vibes. So go ahead and ask one of my characters some questions and we'll see what…

Hey all I was encourage to apply for unemployment as an out of work actor, between supplementing freelance work, but I'm getting confused with application the process since acting income doesn't operate the same way other jobs do. My last acting job was in October 2021, a 1 day co star. Aside from that I've receive res…

PLEASE bare with me. I have 2 questions here. 1) As I’ve posted before, I’m with a boutique agency, with agents that are really cool and we connected well when i signed last November. However, they don’t really seem to care about me? I asked if there’s anything I can do to increase auditions, they said no everything in…

I'm casting for my second project and have worked with a lot of different actors. A lot of creators, Tim Burton being one example, use the same actors over and over. How does this go for the online voice acting community? Is it disrespectful if I cast a few of the actors I've already worked with? I want to give everyon…

Hi, I've came here to ask a question for actors who have been in productions, is it scary? I really want to act and be in shows/movies/musicals but I'm scared of people sexualizing, and making fun of me. I get really bad anxiety when the thought of doing it comes up. but I really want to since its been an interest of m…

Getting new headshots after 10+ years. Back in the day, I was advised to have shorter hair. Is that still a thing or have times have changed and there’s more flexibility for hair? I’ve noticed that many black male actors have shorter hair—at least from their headshots when they first started out.
Reddit · 24 Aug 2022
I was told by a fellow actor who’s been in several notable productions that a lot of the time nowadays, a selfie is asked for when submitting headshots rather than actual, professional headshots, presumably due to COVID. Is this really true?

Hello all, Just found this sub and it looks like an excellent place to get to know other actors and talent to learn from!

A fellow actor told me that I have a great look, but if I go into an audition and don’t perform well, it’ll be noted, making it harder to get auditions. Is this true?

Hey guys! I am booking very frequently now, and if it keeps going the way it is, I can see joining ACTRA as a possibility soon. Did you guys wait til you had X credits or relationships built with X amount of cd's? Or did you get your card the moment you were offered the chance. Thanks! For me I have 5 shows, 3 commerci…

Can you cry on demand? Seeking actors and actresses who are able to shed tears in front of a camera. This is a paid gig and production will be done remotely (a lot of the film will consist of various Zoom conversations) so don’t worry about location, though we are based in Houston if anyone is wondering. If you are int…

Would love to hear everyone’s opinion on this. Mostly just curious… When you see a breakdown posted on Casting Networks, and it has the scene attached, and mentions to submit a self tape of you reading the scene for the audition, do you usually submit to these if you fit the type? These are essentially just open calls,…

Actors who reach out to casting directly - you are not entitled to a response, ever. As human beings, a principle that everyone understands is that just because another human being wants something from you, it doesn't entitle them to it. Since Covid started and self tapes and online casting have become more prevalent w…

Honestly this is just a ramble post so. I feel like Los Angeles in general is this BIG mental health tapeworm for newer actors, or maybe that’s just me. But I’ve been off and on depressed for the past year and a half that I’ve lived here and been very discouraged about acting since I majored in BFA theatre instead of f…

Hi there, I've been living in Los Angeles since January of this year and I've been working consistently as a background performer.

I have heard of at least 10 or more names of voice or vocal techniques available for actors. I have pretty soft voice along with shallow vocal tone and color and the inability to go high on pitch.

I have a reel and headshots. I read in the search bar that you need to have Slateshots to push you towards the top. Do you need slateshots attached to all the headshots you submit with? Do you need new Slateshots when you update your headshots?

Hey! I just wanted to assist all actors who use this subreddit for guidance somewhat.
